In 1813, a wagon train under military escort, carried Du Pont powder from Brandywine Mills near Wilmington, Del. to Commodore Perry at Erie, Pa. This was the powder with which Perry won his famous fight. Now, a hundred years later, the Du Pont Powder Company is sending over the same route, a reproduction of the famous wagon train, which will delliver Du Pont powder to Commodore Perry's original battleship, "The Niagara." which has been raised and restored for the centenary celebration.
